Disputes president's accomplishments

"Produced 4.5 million jobs in 36 months." The salient point is that under Bush, unemployment was a steady 5 percent (considered normal even in boom times). Under Obama, it's been 8 percent or more. (He's not good at percentages) "Doubled the stock market." Under Bush, the Dow reached 14,000 and then dropped precipitously when Obama was elected. It's now about 15,000 (give the devil his due) and that's good. But doubled? What's doubled is the price of gas. (Nor multiplication) "Reduced the debts rise each year." Under Bush, the debt rose $575 billion a year — not good by any means. Under Obama, it has risen $1.4 trillion a year. This is a textbook case of "figures don't lie but liars can figure." (Nor averages) "Forbade government funding for abortions." Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider, gets more government money now than in 2008. (Nor simple arithmetic) "Saved the American auto industry." What industry anywhere wouldn't be "saved" getting an infusion of billions in taxpayer money? Ford didn't take any bailout money and is doing better than GM or Chrysler.
